About

Hi! I’m Jim, an IT guy. Been in IT for about 20 years. Have worn many different hats over the years, from working at a NOC, managing a LAN/WAN network, a network analyst at an integration company, a desktop support tech. In my current incarnation, I’m calling myself a “Solutions Architect”, managing a Managed Print environment. I’m also a network admin, for the company I work for. I also started my own company on the side, JB Network Design, at the start of the Great Recession, just in case I was going to get laid off 🙂 – Always have a Plan B.
